Personally, I think he should serve a minimum of 15 years and be turned over to the wing of the prison where sexual predators are rife and hopefully, when he bends down for the soap his eyes will water!
I would go further and castrate him - either physically or chemically but either way, there's no excuse for what he done. I feel for that wee lassie, I've got two girls; 7 and 4 and I ask myself what would I do if it happened to one of them.... I know exactly what I would do!

Well, my brain says more sexual violence ain't the answer, Gilly, but my heart, if I'm honest, wishes that this 'man' understands what such pain and degradation feels like. So I'm clearly confused... Rape sentencing needs reviewed, quick sharp though, don't we think? It's a joke that violent guys like this can serve only a couple of years then be back out on the streets. Hardly a deterrent. A whole other topic, probably. But there's something intrinsically wrong with men and boys who do this, says she, stating the bloody obvious. In this case, this 'man/boy/thing' was shown compassion by the medical students who found him slumped, pished out of his head, in a doorway near the QMU. They stopped and tended to him, called him a taxi to make sure he got home safe. Yet he clearly had other ideas. WTF went wrong in that guy's family that he turned out so brutal? He's somebody's son. Nature or (lack of) nurture? Again, probably another topic. I just have the most horrible feeling that what we're doing now isn't working. So we either hold back the tide temporarily by keeping these people in jail for the rest of their lives---or we start to tackle the cause of why they behave so brutally in the first place. But either way, those they prey upon---and their families---ultimately suffer the most. That's what I find hard to handle.

I mentioned earlier, perhaps a chemical system could help? However, at this moment I see him as a danger to women full stop, I also do not think he was as drunk as his lawyer was making out, one can not be so drunk and then plan a savage attack in quite a busy area and drag the victim into a hidden area near bye and have the strength to do what he did. Sorry I do not believe the lawyer or his story for a nano second. He is a clear and present danger to any female and has the cunning to plan ahead, with that in mind I can be liberal and allow him release from a maximum security prison when he is 75. Unless of course there is a new system in place which chemically cast rates him and he enters that system Voluntarily.

Definitely a danger to women, but since he also has two other charges of violence currently, not just on women, this guy has 'issues' that I doubt any kind of castration would solve. And rape isn't primarily about sex, it's about anger and power issues.
You know I was surprised too that someone SO apparently legless was able to carry out this brutal attack. It was actually the medical students who stopped and looked after him who gave vital evidence to the police when they found out what he'd later done.
Whether he planned the attack or not (likely given he'd been chucked out the QM for 'bothering' people) he's clearly not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Apparently, the students who found him in the doorway asked his name (for the taxi presumably) and later gave it to the police. That's how he got caught relatively quickly.

Ryan Lafferty was sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh this week to 8 years in jail. This violent, sadistic ameoba of a man will be out on the streets again in roughly half. His victim meanwhile has had a breakdown, left her course @ Glasgow Uni and is suffering from serious depression. I can only hope she finds the inner strength to overcome this and try to get her life back. What is being done to support and counsel HER? Something needs done PRONTO about rape sentencing. This was as horrifyingly brutal as it gets. We need serious deterrent sentences as in 15-20 years. And we urgently need these guys to have psychological treatment as well as being locked away to protect others.

Personal opinion of this sentence is it is too light by around 20 years.
